Pescatarian / Veggie Dinner Ideas
Easy to make dinner ideas for a veggie
For 7 years, I was a veggie/pescatarian, which proved a little more difficult living in Spain. Slowly I reintroduced meat, but I still prefer not to. You may have chosen to forgo meat too. Are you looking for some easy ideas for yourself? Are you hosting for a veggie/pescatarian and don't know what to do? Love a good 'one-pot' meal?
